Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 6.1
February 10, 2026
The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6) is a stand-alone desktop application that compliments a Geographic Information System (GIS). The DSAS software requires users to input a reference baseline and compilation of shoreline positions to generate measurement transects and shoreline intersections used to calculate rate-of-change statistics. DSAS provides an automated method for establishing measurement locations, performs rate calculations, and provides uncertainty values associated with rates of change.
